Songwriter

I'm a classically trained pianist and violist, and a largely self-taught guitarist and singer. I like to write songs. Check out my music on my website and my youtube channel, both of which I will get around to updating one of these months. In my day job, I work in a genetic research lab at Harvard where I spend my time unraveling the mysteries of the human genome.

Amy Kucharik is a singer-songwriter, dancer, and DJ from Somerville, MA. Amy writes and performs songs on ukulele, and has been featured as a vocalist with several local and national musicians. Her influences include Bessie Smith and the Asylum Street Spankers, and her vocals have been compared to Lena Horne. Her song "Dance Crush Blues" has been DJed at blues dance events across the country and as far away as Israel.

As the Sparrow is a folk influenced rock-swing band based around the songwriting of Mark Damon. In 2009, while majoring in Theater at Salem State University and working as a professional actor in downtown Salem, Ma, Damon decided that his heart belonged to music. After writing an album's worth of songs he teamed up with his longtime friend Kenneth Mckeen, who in the fall of 2009, flew in from Michigan after performing in the Johnny Cash musical "The Ring of Fire" on upright bass. Soon after, Leo Fonseca and Yves Francois joined the group on trumpet and percussion.

Laurence performs regularly throughout the Boston Metro (mainly in Somerville and Cambridge). Currently he performs with local singer/songwriters Dietrich Strause, Danielle Miraglia, Ryan Fitzsimmons, Josh Lederman amongst others. Although historically a sideman, he's working on his own original material and plans to record an album of his own by the close of 2012.

From time to time I love this life.

I've been playing guitar for about 10 years in the blues and rock genres. I have a Bachelor of Music in Songwriting from Berklee College of Music. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Arts Administration at Boston University. I play in a bluesy rock band called Hevy Sol where I am the main songwriter, singer, lead guitarist, manager, and booking agent. I have also been known to do the occasional acoustic singer/songwriter performance.
